Jalan Khemah, Bukit Gelugor

Jalan Khemah, Bukit Gelugor, Penang (22 January 2020)


Jalan Khemah is a small hill road in Bukit Gelugor, on the southern part of George Town, Penang. It is the road that runs up the hill, forming junctions with the other roads that encircle Bukit Gelugor such as Lengkok Bawah, Jalan Pekeliling and Lengkok Atas. Jalan Khemah reaches down from the top of Bukit Gelugor to its foot, where it is met by two roads, Jalan Utara in the north and Jalan Selatan in the south. These two run parallel to present-day Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah.

The name "khemah" means "camp". This is probably due to the encampment of the Police Volunteer Reserve in the area in the mid 20th century, when the land was developed from plantation land for residential purposes.

Getting there
